Growing in Not Knowing:
Living Well with OCD & Anxiety
Maybe you’ve tried talk therapy, medications, bubble baths, a shaman shaking feathers over your body, or picturing a giant red stop sign—all things that I’ve tried—and you’ve experienced little improvement. You’re wondering what’s next for you, besides the next obsession and compulsion.
I'm here to relate to those with OCD and anxiety, share my experiences and tools, and offer individuals committed programs of care that promote inner peace and self-confidence. Consider me a resource that helps living well with your doubt feel more possible, sustainable and even enriching. As I study to become both an Ayurvedic Health Coach and massage therapist, I’m excited to expand my capacity to help you experience more harmony in your body, mind, and daily life.
“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.”

Testimonials
“Training with Simone has been a wonderful and productive experience! She perfectly combines kindness and understanding with the ability to push me past my perceived limits, all while making sure that I’m doing so in a healthy and safe manner. Both our one-on-one sessions and the online group classes are excellent, and the weekly training plans and videos have kept me on track even on days where I don’t train with Simone directly. I now work out more over the course of a week than I had been in an entire month prior. I feel better than I have in years, both when I’m working out and in everyday life!”
— Avery of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
“Simone’s Power Yoga class is amazing! I have been practicing with her for four years and have loved every minute of it. She is an inspiring teacher. Her class is challenging, humbling, empowering, and leaves me feeling strong in both body and mind.”
— Lucy of Hanover, New Hampshire
“I began practicing with Simone just over a month ago, and I can already tell the difference in my strength when participating in her live sessions! I have never been much into yoga, but Simone is where it's at! I feel grounded and strong after her classes and look forward to them. As a beginner, I've found that her modifications are helpful, but I only use them when I really need to. Yoga has now become part of my routine and I plan on purchasing some of her classes so I can do them on my own when I can't make the virtual ones. If there are any silver linings in this pandemic, one of them is yoga with Simone. Check her out, you won't be disappointed.”
—Megan of Chicago, Illinois
"I’ve been participating in Simone’s Power Yoga and Blast Core classes off and on for a few years now and I can honestly say that there really isn’t a better program out there! Her classes are fun yet challenging and I truly leave the classes feeling stronger both mentally and physically. Incorporating these classes into my weekly routine has allowed me to become a more confident athlete and pursue bigger and more diverse projects than I ever thought possible."
—Alyssa of Helena, Montana
“The dynamic and diverse nature of Simone's classes provide noticeable benefits to my overall health. Her encouragement keeps me motivated to push myself, knowing that I can do it, even when it gets challenging. That all translates to confidence, strength, and flexibility when I am enjoying the outdoor activities that I love."
— Rory of Helena, Montana
“I am extremely pleased with both the online Power Yoga class and the results I have seen from practicing for almost three months now. Simone is an excellent instructor. She always has a great attitude and is attentive to her students, offering pertinent suggestions and prompts when needed. As someone who is new to yoga, I’m highly impressed with her ability to provide quality coaching and encouragement simultaneously in class. I do Crossfit, and my goal has been to both improve mobility and strengthen muscles (including core) that I've found underdeveloped. Her class is the perfect supplement to my Crossfit training, and my muscles are just as tired (pleasantly so) after her classes as they are after my regular gym training. I've seen marked results in my squat, deadlift, and stability since attending her classes. I highly recommend Simone and her classes.”
— Andrew of Knoxville, Tennessee
